Convert the given numbers into words in Pl/SQL

Prerequisite – PL/SQL introduction
In PL/SQL code groups of commands are arranged within a block. A block group related declarations or statements. In declare part, we declare variables and between begin and end part, we perform the operations.

Given a number and task is to convert each digit of the number into words.Examples:

Input: 47856
Output: Four Seven Eight Five Six
Input: 123456
Output: one two three four five six

Approach is to select the corresponding word of a particular number using decode function.
Below is the required implementation:

DECLARE

-- declare variable are num, num_to_word, str, len, c

-- and in above declare variable num, len, c are integer datatype

-- and num_to_word and str are varchar datatype

num INTEGER;

num_to_word VARCHAR2(100);

str VARCHAR2(100);

len INTEGER;

c INTEGER;

BEGIN

num := 123456;

len := Length(num);

dbms_output.Put_line('Entered Number is: '

||num);

FORi IN1..len LOOP

c := Substr(num, i, 1);

SELECTDecode(c, 0, 'Zero ',

1, 'One ',

2, 'Two ',

3, 'Three ',

4, 'Four ',

5, 'Five ',

6, 'Six ',

7, 'Seven ',

8, 'Eight ',

9, 'Nine ')

num_to_word := num_to_word

ENDLOOP;

dbms_output.Put_line('Number to words: '

||num_to_word);

END;
